Tin Can Telephones

Today for Golden Time we made Tin Can Telephones.  What an hilarious and heart warming activity.  You should have seen your children's faces when they heard their friends voice through the tin can.  Priceless!  They even figured out that the sound must be travelling down the string and that phones must work that way too.  They were amazed at how fast the sound travelled and how clear their friends voices sounded.  It was a very worthwhile activity.  Here are the pics....

How cool, this is what all new learning should look like.  What fun!

Baking for Golden Time

We have been meaning to bake for weeks now and because we didn't have enough tin cans to make telephones, Friday became the day.  Baking is such fun and has so many learning opportunities.  Here we are in the kitchen baking a delicious muesli slice....

We were great listeners...

...and we were pretty good helpers too.

Some of us stirred and some measured.

Mrs Russell put the mixture into the baking dish.

It cooked in the oven and smelled delicious.

Some of us got to be photographers!
